I take it you’re talking about the 1/18 spyder?
Trinity is only new to making off-road cars, so who knows if these cars are any good.
The chances are that they will be discontinued in a year and parts will be few and far between.
The AE RC18T will definately be a good vehicle, they are one of the….if not, THE highest quality manufacturers in the world, they make good stuff :p
The things you migh want to look at are:
-What do you get in the kit? Just because one kit is dearer than another brand, doesnt mean it is less value, i.e. i am certain that the Spyder has friction shocks, which puts the RC18T in the lead.
-Parts availability, no bloody use having a car if parts aren’t easy or cheap to get.
-Durability/Design….well the less sh1t that breaks, the better, right?
Hopups…everybody loves/wants/needs hopups. Both these cars can use the same motors, such as brushless mamba etc. Due to the popularity, and AE following, I think the RC18T will have much more aftermarket support.
Wills, I also had a good look at a REVO in an LHS ($1200 :dead:) and it does look a bit fragile, the chassis is quite chunky and rigid, but the A-arms look quite under-done. Also those shock-cantilever-pivot-thingies seem to be breaking a lot….but alloy substitutes are here now.
